Title: Privacy vs. user experience

The real issue that Apple is trying to address is not really privacy, but
rather security. Though Google has all of my data, it is still private. Google
does not sell access to my data; it sells access to my attention. Advertisers
do not get my information from Google. So as long as I trust Google's
employees, the only two potential breaches of my privacy are from the
government or from a hacker. If we accept this as a fact, the fundamental
privacy question changes from, "Do you respect my privacy?" to "Is the user
experience improvement worth the security risk to my private information?"
